Second, Vancouver fans being the fickle lot they are are currently not at all anxious about the lack of action because the last time they saw their new starter he let in 5 goals on 14 shots. The buzz around Van since Saturday was "you know, on second thought, maybe we should just keep Luongo around for a while and see how this goes".
I prefer NHLNumbers' idea:
1. Philly acquires Luongo.
2. Philly trades Bryzgalov to the Islanders in exchange for Rick Dipietro and Calvin de Haan (or another prospect, or a high draft pick).
3. Philly buys out Rick Dipietro (same $ as Bryzgalov, more or less).

You run the risk of Mr. Glass getting hurt and not being able to buy him out.
